This document discusses library automation, which refers to using computers to automate typical library procedures like cataloging and circulation. The main purpose is to free up librarians' time so they can better spread knowledge and information. Computerization is part of library automation, using technology for administrative tasks, acquisitions, cataloging, circulation, and more. Library automation aims to improve efficiency, access resources on other networks, and manage physical/financial resources. It has advantages like faster information searching and resource sharing, but also disadvantages like high costs and reliance on electricity.

The future of the integrated library systemWhitni Watkins
The traditional ILS as we know it will only die out because it will evolve. It will not disappear. More now than ever do libraries need automation and resource management. The thing is, our collections are becoming more and more heavily electronic, we need a system that will handle digital content in an efficient manner. The current ILS does not.
Current ILSs are built around the traditional library practice of print collections and services
designed around these collections, but the last ten to fifteen years have seen great shifts in both
library collections and services. Print and physical materials are no longer the dominant resources.
Actually, in many libraries, especially in academic and research libraries, the building of electronic
and digital collections have taken a larger role in library collection development.
As libraries have moved increasingly to accommodate digital collections, they’ve found the ILS products unable to be reconfigured well enough to smoothly and efficiently handle the integration of all the workflows that are different, yet, necessary, for both print and digital.
The current ILS serves the purpose for an academic library but instead of one system with seamless interaction we have one system with add on components to do some of the now necessary functions like electronic resource management and the discovery layer.
there are three trends that will lead to the change in the traditional ILS: “1. Increased digital collections; 2. Changed expectations regarding interfaces; 3. Shifted attitudes toward data and software.”
There are four distinguishing characteristics of the next-generation ILS we believe are critical. They are comprehensive library resources management; a system based on service-oriented architecture; the ability to meet the challenge of new library workflow; and a next-generation discovery layer.
Up until recently, libraries developed collections to serve the communities that they were located in. And that's going to shift because the collections that they create will define the communities they serve, which is the exact opposite of the way it used to be in the physical world. In the electronic world it will be completely opposite. (VINOD CHACHRA, VTLS)
Our collections are now booming with digital content and a very inept way to serve it. The traditional ILS wasn’t created to handle digital content. The new ILS, will serve as a library service platform where digital content will be a the forethought instead of an afterthought.
Breeding writes that “the next generation of library automation systems needs to be designed to match the workflows of today’s libraries,
which manage both digital and print resources.”

e-Governance is the ICT-enabled route to achieving good governance.
An e-library is a library in which collections are stored in digital formats (as opposed to print, microform, or other media) and accessible by computers. The digital content may be stored locally, or accessed remotely via computer networks.
As a part of my regular academic activities under the course “Globalization and Governance (PA-322)”, I was assigned to plan for making department’s seminar an e-library .
This document contains an e-Library Manifesto which introduces the relevant ‘systems’. It describes the main concepts characterising these systems, i.e., content, user, functionality, quality, policy and architecture. It also describes the reference frameworks needed to clarify the e-Library Reference Architecture.
This e-library will meet the needs and passions of teachers and students and the learning styles of the latter of the department .

Joint presentation with Sheli McHugh at the February 27, 2014 University of Scranton IT Forum.
Throughout the Weinberg Memorial Library’s 20th Anniversary celebration in 2012-2013, Dean Charles Kratz reflected on the idea of looking back while also looking forward, preserving the history and heritage of the University while also sustaining and advancing innovative research, teaching, and learning at the University. To fulfill this dual role, the Library has collaborated extensively with Information Resources on technology tools, from hardware and software to wiring and wireless infrastructure. In this presentation, Learning Commons Coordinator Sheli McHugh will discuss the ongoing development of the technology-rich Reilly Learning Commons (scheduled to open in Fall 2014), while Digital Services Librarian Kristen Yarmey will share the Library's progress and long-term plans for capturing, preserving, and providing access to born digital resources, such as University records, publications, and web pages, as well as digitized materials from the Library's Archives and Special Collections.

Library automation is inevitable in this age o f information and information technologies. Library
automation is the use o f automatic and semi automatic data processing machines to perform
such traditional activities as acquisition, cataloguing and circulation. Library automation may
thus be distinguished from related fields such as information retrieval, automatic indexing and
abstracting and automatic textual analysis. The term automation is defined in Encyclopaedia o f
Computer Science as In business world, the words automation and computer are often used
synonymously\" (Red, 1992). Automation is defined as ‘the technique o f making an apparatus,
or a system operate automatically’ (Sehgal and Behl, 1996). According to the Encyclopaedic
Dictionary o f Library Science automation is ‘the technology concerned with the design and
development o f the process and system that minimizes the necessity of human intervention in
their operation’ (Ishvari et. al., 1993). According to the Encyclopaedia Americana, automation
may be defined as any continuous integrated operation of a producing system that uses electronic
computer on related equipment to regulate and coordinate quantity and quality of what is
produced. Automation is automatic control o f an apparatus, process or system by mechanical or
electronic devices that take the place of human organs or observation efforts or decision
(Webster Dictionary, 1966). The word automation was first introduced by D. S. Harder in 1936.
He defined automation as the automatic handling of parts between progressive production
process. London Goodman (1956) defined automation as the technology of automatic working in
which the handling method, the processes and the design of process material are integrated to
utilize as is economically justifiable in mechanization of thought and effort in order to achieve an
automatic and in some cases a self regulating chain of processes. In the opinion of Bhattacharya
‘there are certain activities traditionally associated with libraries such as acquisition, serial
control, cataloguing and circulation. Today the term library automation is used extensively to
refer primarily to the use of computers to perform some of the traditional library activities
mentioned above. Though computers play the primary role in library automation today, yet the
roles played by telecommunication technology and reprographic technology are of great
significance because of the extent of support they offer to library automation’ (Kumar, 1987).
Library automation may be defined in simple sense as ‘a process of mechanization of library
operations which are of routine and repetitive nature. Computerization of library house keeping
operation, predominance of computerization is known as library automation. Computer is the
most sophisticated electronic device invented by human being for processing enormous amount
of raw data into meaningful and useful form of information with speed, accuracy and reliability’
